The anti-corruption bureau (ACB) on Sunday arrested a police sub-inspector at the Meghwadi police station for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs10,000 from an accused who was arrested in a crime case. This is the second case within a fortnight of a police officer accepting bribe inside the police station premises. The man alleged that the investigating officer Sandeep Badhe, 35, a police sub-inspector from Meghwadi police station who had arrested him, was now demanding a bribe. The victim went to the police station with Rs10,000 and after Badhe accepted it, the ACB team swooped in and arrested him. On December 27 last year, the Mumbai ACB had arrested a 37-year-old assistant police inspector (API) from Powai police station for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs50,000 from an accused to favour him in a crime case by filing a weak charge sheet in court.
